Chapter 1006: Shameless Americans (1)
Sun Tzu clearly made a bet, and although Edward was powerful, he also had a lot of scruples.
Sending Sun Ziming to court, or even to prison, is not very sure unless it is a manipulation of evidence. Because there is no direct evidence pointing to Sun Ziming in those things in the underground world, and in the United States, it is a matter for the jury to decide whether or not guilty, and the judge only has the power to sentence. With Sun Ziming's almost perfect reputation, as well as the past and good deeds of the predecessor and current work of the Chinese Freemasonry, it is difficult for the jury to believe that people who can donate tens of billions of wealth will actually engage in drug trafficking and smuggling.
What's even worse is that as long as they enter the legal process, it means that they will not only get nothing, but also face the crazy retaliation of the Far Eastern group. First and foremost is the California consortium's investment in Russia, and then there is the public skepticism, which is highly likely. The mainstream media accusations are in the hands of Freemasonry, but under the premise of public preconceptions, even the media cannot defy the world's condemnation and deliberately smear the famous China Ming.
However, Edward and the others are also ready to send arrows, because whether it is from the interests of the country or the interests of small groups, they cannot see hundreds of billions of wealth flowing out of the United States in a way of 'shearing sheep'. If Sun Ziming is really tough to the end, they can only do their best to send him to prison, otherwise there is no way to explain to Wall Street. In this world, it has always been only Wall Street that 'shears' other people's sheep, and when it is someone else's turn to shear them, and it is still shearing in their nest.
Of course, if they weren't quite sure and let Sun Ziming compromise, they wouldn't have taken this step. Sun Tzu has a good name, and he also needs a perfect reputation to provide protection for their Far Eastern Group. The red empire on the other side of the ocean still does not have a comprehensive rule of law, and almost every year, the super-rich are imprisoned or take refuge overseas.
If the Americans reveal that the Far Eastern Group has secretly engaged in illegal activities such as drug trafficking and arms smuggling, and the evidence is conclusive, will those red aristocrats, high-ranking officials and magnates regard the Far Eastern Group as fat?
Early the next morning, Sun Ziming, who returned to his house, listened to Jiang Peng's explanation in the study, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Edward, they're not Sandino, the kind of old and spicy politicians who are not quite sure that they will not damage their reputation with just one person, will make this move? It seems that nine times out of ten, there was a problem within themselves, which allowed them to catch the real evidence, and it happened that they sheared the wool of Wall Street again, and they took the opportunity to attack.
Jiang Peng has been with Sun Ziming for more than ten years, and he knows him too well, and his former boss is generous, but he is also a shrewd person. After carefully recalling the conversation with Edward and them yesterday, Jiang Peng was shocked and hesitated: "Brother Ming, did any of you betray?" ”
Sun Ziming also had a layer of cold sweat on his back, but he still said quietly: "I can't make serious money, and I will do those things?" Guang Tsai has left me since the 90s, what does what they do to me have to do with me? I just thought about brotherhood and funded them some money. ”
"Brother Ming, Edward, they have mastered the arms deal."
"Fart's arms deal", Sun Ziming scolded, and said confidently: "We just bought some waste materials in the Far East and resold them to some businessmen on the spot, what do they do with those materials, what does it matter to us?" ”
Isn't this a cover-up? Jiang Peng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said sincerely: "Brother Ming, let's not say that you have the grace of knowing and being a friend to me, from the perspective of interests alone, even if I force you to compromise, I won't get more." You forget, I'm still the second largest individual shareholder of Light and Shadow, and your investment vision will give me more benefits.
Although I have climbed up, it is impossible to go to the next level, do you think they can still buy me? ”
These words made Sun Tzu nod his head secretly, although Edward was in a high position, they couldn't afford that price, so Dapeng betrayed him. Sun Ziming took the initiative to smoke, and lit a fire for Jiang Peng, and said with a solemn face: "Dapeng, I won't hide it from you, I said that yesterday, it was really just a bluff."
If they really pull the matter of the previous 'Xingtian Society' on me, our entire group will be at great risk. There is no problem with Guangzai, but the people under him are not necessarily, and it is difficult to say who else handles it. Under the heavy profit, what kind of loyalty can there be? ”
Jiang Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that he, the former boss, would be as tough as before, and he would never do things again, and this time he would no longer be an opponent like CAA.
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Zi Mingcai asked, "Dapeng, what conditions do you think they will offer?" ”
"I don't know, but it's definitely impossible not to leave you at all", Jiang Peng shook his head, he had been listening to Edward and them for the past two days, but he still found nothing.
After being silent for a while, Jiang Peng whispered: "Brother Ming, if you use half of your wealth in the United States as the bottom line, can you accept it?" ”
Sun Ziming frowned, his property in the United States is not a small amount, not to mention the Light and Shadow Group, the stocks of large companies such as Cisco and Apple are worth tens of billions of dollars, and they are still appreciating rapidly.
However, this price does not seem unacceptable compared to settling the matter. As long as Edward's gang took this money, no one would be held accountable for their previous activities, and the hidden dangers of arms and drugs trafficking would be completely eliminated.
"Hmm", as soon as the promised words came to his mouth, Sun Ziming grew his heart again, swallowed the words back alive, and said in a deep voice: "Impossible, I can't be blackmailed like this."
If that's the case, I'd rather leave the United States. The people at the consulate are downstairs and can always take their car to the airport if I want and then take their chartered flight back home.
Dapeng, as soon as I leave the United States, they will take me for nothing! ”
Jiang Peng smiled bitterly, Sun Ziming was right, the stocks and real estate he held were all legal property, which could be realized and transferred out at any time, and the Americans had no way to stop it. As for those risks at home and in Russia, they will not be possible until things get bigger, and there will be a buffer for a period of time, enough for them to trade with various forces to seek political asylum. If you calculate it like this, it may not cost tens of billions, and it can't be compared with his wealth in the United States at all.
It's just that in this way, the light and shadow company immediately became a garbage company, and the stocks held in their hands would also become junk stocks.
Sun Ziming pretended not to see Jiang Peng's wry smile, but instead broke the jar and said, "Well, that's it!" If they deceive people too much, then they should be scattered in two! ”
Jiang Peng had no choice but to go back and report to Edward and them, he used to think that Sun Ziming would not be willing to give up the foundation of the United States, but since Edward knew a lot of truths, he no longer thought so. This is a hidden tyrant in Hollywood, those legends seem to have nothing to do with him, but he is behind the planning and command, so there are Indonesian riots, guerrillas besieging Congress, East Timor independence .......
